Rovinj Pulls Away with Second-Quarter Surge to Beat Folka Borovje, 49–33
In a decisive LWB U13 round 3 contest on 18 January 2026 at OŠ Borovje, KK Rovinj - Rovigno overcame an early deficit to down Folka Borovje 49–33. What began as a tight, tactical opening quarter turned into a lop-sided affair after a withering second-quarter run that defined the outcome.
The game opened cautiously, with the first quarter ending 9–4 in favor of Folka Borovje. But the second quarter belonged to KK Rovinj - Rovigno: a 23-point outburst erased the early gap and swung momentum irreversibly. Key contributors during that decisive stretch were Korenić Nika Maria and Rojnić Maria, who combined scoring and physical presence to put their team firmly in control.
Korenić Nika Maria finished as the statistical focal point, converting 7 of 13 field-goal attempts for 14 points and hauling in five rebounds (efficiency 13). Her finishing around the basket and timely scoring runs helped ignite the charge. Veteran presence in the paint also came from Mihić Mila, who produced a double-double with 12 points and an impressive 12 rebounds, repeatedly contesting the glass and keeping Folka Borovje within reach when they needed points.
Rojnić Maria added 14 points to the visitors’ tally, including frequent trips to the line (4-for-8) and five rebounds, while Čačić Nika supplied perimeter punch — hitting two of three three-point attempts as part of a 12-point night. On the boards and in the stat sheet, Tokić Anabela also made a notable contribution, securing 11 rebounds and providing physical balance (efficiency 10).
For Folka Borovje, the offensive effort was led by Mihić Mila and Hruškar Magdalena. Hruškar Magdalena delivered the game’s early long ball and finished with 11 points, while Mihić Mila’s persistence inside produced the team’s best scoring runs in the second half. Despite their fight—scoring 10 points in the third and another 10 in the fourth—Folka could not erase the deficit created in the second quarter.
Quarter-by-quarter strokes told the tale: Q1 9–4, Q2 4–23, Q3 10–17, Q4 10–5 (Folka Borovje – KK Rovinj - Rovigno). The 23-point second period stands out as the decisive passage: it transformed a narrow early contest into a comfortable margin that the trailing side never recovered from.
Stat lines of note: Korenić Nika Maria 14 points, 5 rebounds (7/13 FG; eff 13); Mihić Mila 12 points, 12 rebounds (double-double; eff 7); Rojnić Maria 14 points, 5 rebounds (4/8 FT; eff -7); Čačić Nika 12 points including multiple threes; and Tokić Anabela 11 rebounds and solid all-around impact.
Ultimately this was a game decided by a single dominant quarter: defensive stops and efficient scoring from KK Rovinj - Rovigno in the second stanza opened a lead that was both decisive and telling of the visitors’ execution under pressure. Folka Borovje displayed moments of resilience but lacked the sustained offensive balance needed to overturn the result.
